Company meetings tend to run long because Dmitri invariably raises irrelevant points that get everyone off track discussing something that has nothing to do with the business at hand. He seems to enjoy this, but Sandra, his manager, finds it extremely annoying. Without Dmitri knowing it, she has instructed the others to remain silent the next time he tries to get everyone talking about something unrelated to the discussion. In an effort to change Dmitri's behavior, Sandra is using the contingency of reinforcement known as extinction.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
Extinction occurs when there is a removal of a consequence following an unwanted behavior. When others stop "rewarding" Dmitri by talking about football or TV shows or some other unrelated topic, he will most likely stop wasting everyone's time at company meetings.
